Hi
I know it's new but does anyone live near or know what it is like?
Terrain?
Ground?
Close to M4?

Thanks x

I'm very near. It will be pretty flat, no major hills as we don't have any round us!

Ground...should hold up fairly well, similar to Charlton Park.

About 15 mins from M4 and easy to get to. Will be a fab event as run by same organisers as Charlton with Beanie Sturgis involved as well.

Have entered Weston otherwise would be going there myself am gutted will miss it although I imagine I'll be there doing something!!!!

Personally I wouldn't run Wednesday and then again on Sunday with a horse running at novice. The most I'd do is a Sunday run and then again on the following Saturday. Ideally I like 10 days - 2 weeks between runs. But every horse is different.

Im def entering for this - the pnp at the moment. :-) Im really looking forward to this and used to love charlton park.

I looked at BCA - im guessing thats the other event? as well as could do with the runs. Im not keen on running so close together but may have to after so few outings. Im aiming for aldon pn3d and have not be'd since june (horse had a splint) - did pony club area - not very well though! and was meant to be going to cleobury. So hopefully now have monmouth and duantsey....

My little sis is even worse off having not be'd since may (exams and then horse had a virus and she forgot to enter for spring hill or gatcombe) and did pc area in august and wants to do aldon 1*
